	Due to its unique combination of sentience and inhuman strength and endurance, Argonaut has been recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. to be part of the Queen's special force.

	Unit took the name Argonaut ~~(may end up Argo for short)~~ in reference to the mythical seekers that sailed in Jason's ship, The Argo. Argonaut itself is on an existential journey. Being the world's first known A.I. (though only known to a few as yet), Argo seeks answers and perhaps "humanity" by serving the only parents it has ever known, Queen and Country.

	Argonaut wishes to fit in with humanity and may take actions to become "more human", such as attaining a voice, or even attempting drastic physical change.
